If I could give attorney Vanessa Vasquez de Lara a rating of 10 stars, I definitely would. She represented me in a lengthy modification of parenting agreement process and it’s because of her tenacity, knowledge and professionalism that I was granted sole parental responsibility of my child among other victories. We dealt with a hostile opposing party and still, Vanessa never flinched. Vanessa’s staff is also great, always professional and very helpful. I can’t thank them enough and if you want a competent, knowledgeable attorney who will fight for you, hire Vanessa Vasquez de Lara and her firm to represent you!

My Special Needs Little boy and I will be eternally grateful for helping us thru the divorce. Everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The office sraff was accomodating of my disabilities and handled conferences online. Highly appreciated.

If I could leave ZERO stars I would! I went to this lady because I was told she's amazing and a closer, over $15,000 in less than 4 months my case was worse than it began, and I literally had an open and shut case (ex had a DV incident with BF in front of kids). This lady would also refuse to go to court if if the escrow account didn't meet her desires. She laughed at my...

I just had a consultation to get an idea of what my case would be like, if I had one and I were to move forward with my decision. She explained everything to me with a lot of detail and explained what the worse case scenario would be, what to expect in court and what I needed to move forward with the case. I’m very thankful I decided to consult with her before I took matters into my own hands. If in a near future I were to go forward And push forward with my case I would highly recommend her.

This law firm made me feel at ease with the entire custody process for my son. They are very knowledgeable, professional, firm, and prompt. They took great care of me and follow up with me even though my process has ended. I highly recommend them for family law. They genuinely care for their clients.

Vanessa was very professional. She listened attentively and gave the best legal advice. She understood my situation and respected my decision.

Hi. Vanessa has represented me for about two years and I could not be happier with her service / counseling / support and why not... with our growing friendship. I am a physician, but I had just finished my residency and money was a big struggle when I first hired Vanessa. However, my children's well-being was a cause worth fighting for and investing my time, energy and limited resources. I read about Vanessa right here, at Avvo. Having had a good share of legal fiascos with previous "highly recommended" lawyers that only put me way deeper in debt with not real results, I was skeptical and afraid as my decision at the time was time sensitive and had no margin for error. I am glad I decided to hire Vanessa. She was considerate and very reasonable with legal fees and truly I felt she treated my case with the heart of a mother/father and advocated for my children as she would have done for her own children. She mounted a surprising case (at least to me) and recommended steps that no other lawyer had mentioned to me before and time proved to be the right strategy. Vanessa got my WHOLE case resolved in less than a year and pretty much I got every item I was hoping I could offer to my children such as: equal time share (50/50) with both parents, consistent and well structured time schedule, attendance to best possible school, common sense and fair things such as place for pick up/drop off, among other things. Vanessa was against an experienced and thought lawyer... and she shined. I must tell you that I did my homework and had everything ready at every step, saved emails, receipts, text conversation, etc... I did this over a period of time and I'd advise you do your work as well. Finally, after many years of back and forth visits to court, my case was resolved... and the legal cost at the end was not significantly different from our first calculations. I imagine every case is different, but Vanessa really try to help client's cost by deferring much of routine interaction to her secretary and/or paralegal which were both really nice, courteous and very professional and cost a fraction of a lawyer's fee. Even better and unexpected news... I believe Vanessa (maybe indirectly, too complicated to explain here) also helped to improve my relationship with my ex which has been a blessing. My kids' mom and I just celebrated our son's birthday party together for the first time and it was a blast. I am very thankful to Vanessa for what she has done for me, my children and my family. Note: I usually do not write reviews, mostly due to lack for free time, but this review is truly important to me. It is a way to show gratitude to my lawyer and equally important possibly help someone desperate for help (as I was) to make the right decision. I believe Vanessa has her heart in the right place, something difficult to find nowadays. Best wishes!!!

Her firm help me with my child custody case and child support. I can not be happier with the results she was able to get. The outcome was better than expected. Her office staff is courteous and very helpful.

Thank you

Ms Vasquez was instrumental in achieving a judgement in my favor against my ex husband. It was a complicated case that required a strong collaboration. She was able to achieve results through her excellent analysis of the taxes and complicated documentation. She delivered in the court room as well. I would recommend Ms Vasquez unconditionally. She is true professional

Attorney Vasquez came highly recommended to me from a good friend. I took his advice and hired her. She represented me in my divorce case. I must admit, I'm glad I took my friends advice. Everything she said she would do, she did. Communication was excellent. Never was there a time in which I could not contact and speak directly with her or Barbera. To know that you have someone in your corner that has your best interest in the forefront says it all. Patrick
